Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM ACER G 23 0015
The Acer Access and Development Program is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), designed to strengthen and expand the domestic maple syrup industry. The program focuses on helping States, Federally recognized Tribal governments, and eligible research and higher-education institutions carry out projects that improve maple production knowledge, support sustainable management of maple resources, grow consumer demand for maple products, and expand practical access to maple-sugaring opportunities on lands where maple species (trees in the genus Acer) are present.
At its core, the program funds work in four main areas. First, it supports research and education related to maple syrup production, which can include efforts to improve production practices, enhance producer training, and share technical knowledge that helps maple operations become more efficient and resilient. Second, it promotes natural resource sustainability in the maple syrup industry, encouraging projects that protect and responsibly manage forest and tree resources that make maple production possible over the long term. Third, it supports market promotion for maple syrup and maple-sap products, meaning applicants can propose initiatives that build awareness, expand markets, or strengthen marketing channels for maple-related products. Fourth, it encourages increased participation in maple sugaring by motivating private landowners with Acer tree species to either start or expand maple-sugaring activities on their land, or to voluntarily make their land available (including through leasing or other arrangements) so the public can access those lands for maple-sugaring activities.
The funding opportunity is listed as "Acer Access and Development Program" under Funding Opportunity Number USDA AMS TM ACER G 23 0015, and it falls under the Agriculture funding activity category with CFDA Number 10.174.
